I have a network with static routes witch I need to convert to OSPF.Never used OSPF, and do not have much experience in routing in general.The netvork is connected via some fiber links, but moastly wireless bridges.I have attached a drawing of how the network is.Routers are 3550, 3560 and 3750s.Each router is on a different physical site.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a little OSPF setup in my lab and having a problem pinging out to the internet.I have a setup with (3) 3550's running ip routing. I'm configuring OSPF but I can't ping the internet from any L3 switch except the switch with the actual uplink to the internet.[code] From SW2 and SW3, I can ping SW1 on all IPs (192.168.1.90, 10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.5) but I can't ping 192.168.1.1 which is my gateway to the internet.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am beginning to implement OSPF into the network I work on. I have a network which consists of multiple 4500, 6500 series routers and 3560s. Each switch has its own set of VLANs. In other words VLAN X on one switch is not the same as VLAN X on another switch. I had envisioned connecting each switch via trunk links and then routing via the loopback addresses on each device. That didn't work. Then I created a VLAN 100 on each switch. Each one was configured with an IP in the same subnet range (10.3.0.1 and 10.3.0.2). I added these addresses to the OSPF process in area 0. It worked. However, this is not desired. I have not seen many examples of 4500 layer 3 switches configured with OSPF. The examples I have seen show the interfaces configured with IPs.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have our network setup as displayed in the attached. We have 2 HQ offices and 1 branch office. The branch office needs to connect to resources located at both HQs but taking the most effecient path. We have ethernet circuits connecting from each HQ to 2 x Cisco 3560 switches in the branch. HSRP has been configured on the 3560 switches with SW1 as active and SW2 as standby. OSFP has been configured in a single area 0 and the path cost on the link between HQs has been increase to allow 3560 SW1 to route to HQ1 directly and HQ2 via 3560 SW2.The 3560s are connected with a trunk with a L3 SVI for OSPF. This seems to work ok but I have noticed that the branch could become transit if the HQ1 to HQ2 link breaks. How can this be avoided? I realise that if we configure the branch subnets and SW1 to SW2 link in a stub area (area1) then all traffic will route from SW1 to HQ1 and will never share over SW2. I'm assuming that this is because OSPF chooses inter-area routes over intra-area.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI believe the answer is yes, but incorperating more layer 3 features of our 3750's, I want to know if they fully support EIGRP or OSPF?
Also for a small business of 4 locations, each with a 10mbps fiber and a 1.5mbps mpls... wouldn't you say EIGRP would be easier? Want to look at making the failover automatic if the 10mbps fiber goes down between a site, then the network fails over to 1.5mbps mpls. When the fiber returns in service then the network automatically preferr the fiber again.
Currently we use static routes and if there is a provider outage we have to manually edit the config to flip flop the routes.
Is there a way to configure a switch (3550, 3560,3750) to disable a switch port if it has not been used for a specified time period such as weeks or months. Say you want the switch to disable switch ports that have been "abandoned".

Once deployed there will be a requirement for these physical trunks to be disconnected from time to time. Knowing that this is inevitable I am trying to minimise the period of time for the trunks to recover once the physical connectivity is reinstated.
All of the VLANs on the switches are configured for Spanning Tree Rapid PVST. Current time for the trunks/VLANs to come up is around the 4 second mark.
I have 2 locations, at a distance of 600KM.These two locations are well connected by Point to Point L2 VLAN with a speed of 2 MBPS and supported by CISCO 3560G switches.Location A has a VLAN to communicate to the other VLAN at Location B. Location B has also got 3 VLANS which are inter connected with Location A.Now the hardware in one of VLANs in Location B has moved to Location A for obvious reasons.

A client of ours has installed an SG300-24P switch and would like to setup a LAG between the SG300 and the 3560 switch we manage for them. They would like the LAG to also pass the voice and two data VLANs currently in use; 5, 10, and 100 respectively. I configured the two ports as an Etherchannel with trunking on the logical port, but no luck. I reconfigured as follows:
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active
end
[code]....
I see no output when I do show lacp nei. At this point the client is looking to use for the configurations to use as he does not know how to setup the SG300 and it is a switch I have never dealt with. I have found some configurations that I believe would allow a single VLAN across, but nothing I believe will allow the LAG to pass all the VLAN's.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi have made a topology in packet tracer related to etherchannel configuration.i am using 2 3560 switches and 1 2950 switch. Now what i want is to bundle up the redundant links between these 3 switches. The links fa0/1-3 between 2950_1 and 3560_1 switches have been bundled up but when i try to bundle the links fa0/4-6 of 3560_1 to fa0/4-6 of 3560_2 it wont work. i am using channel-group 1 mode desirable between the 3560 switches. secondly if i want to assign ip to port channels then it has to be of same subnet between 2 3560 switches right and it must be same between 2950_1 and 3560_1. But these 2 subnets should be different from one another.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got LACP-enabled port-channels between a Cisco 3750 stack and a few different switches (some Cisco 3750s and some Juniper EX2200s). The Ciscos are all sending slow LACP updates, the Junipers are sending fast LACP updates (but the Cisco they connect with is responding with slow LACP updates).
I have a couple of questions:
1) what are the pros and cons of slow vs fast updates? my research has led me to the conclusion that fast updates are better for network resiliency as long as you have plenty of bandwidth overhead (which I do at the moment). is there anything to add to this conclusion?
2) is there any way to configure the Cisco 3750s for fast updates?
We've recently inherited a platform with little handover and also minimal networking experience.We're going 100 miles an hour in learning, but I'm a bit confused with the idea of a L2 switch with no IP assignments to ports, so using VLANs, and a L3 switch with IP assignments. And the combination of both.We have 2 Cisco 3750 switches, along with a whole host of other hardware, so we're starting at this "gateway" to start breaking things down.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've read the document (Document ID: 91672) on setting up WoL, but I had a few questions as this doesn't completely fit our situation.We have 4 3560 switches, 3 have only access to vlan 1, SW4 has access to vlan 1 and vlan 2, every switch is connected by fiber to a 3750.We want to enable every server/PC on vlan 2 to allow WoL packets to all PC's on the internal network (so WoL through all 5 switches). In the above document, it allows WoL to be executed only from a single IP/Server, is it possible to allow an entire vlan to execute WoL? or allow multiple IP's to execute WoL? Also, in the switch configuration it says to type
-"switchport mode access"
-"switchport access vlan4"
-"spanning-tree portfast"
We do not use STP and is disabled, is portfast required for WoL use? if Port Fast is disabled by default, could this also be blocking a WoL packet from vlan2 to vlan1 on the same switch?
I've to enable it on 3750 and nexus 7K switches. what are the steps involved? can we enable jumbo frame per port instead of enabling globally? i.e. we will only have few ports that will be using jumbo frames, rest of the ports will be using default 1500 MTU size.

how can we get cisco to come up with a way for access switches to be stacked over fiber similar to above supervisor? i know of few of my site that would benefit from this...maybe they can come up with a vss appliance, similar to a media converter, to convert stackwise over fiber...then of course, you would need the same appliance on the other end....

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have Cisco 2960's, 3750's and 3750x's all running IOS on the access layer. I have Cisco 6504's running IOS on the Distribution and Core layers. I am looking to monitor redundant links through Spectrum by having specific ports send traps but I have run into trouble finding how to configure it. I would like to have:
1. Logging enabled for all links (Fiber and Copper) so that I see all links up/down messages in the syslog
2. SNMP traps sent for linkup/link down messages only for redundant links (ex. Dual Up links from Access Layer or Redundant Ether channel Links on Dist Layer)
3. SNMP traps should be ignored/not sent for all copper ports.
I am trying to establish EIGRP neighborships with my inside switches (3750s) over the "Internal" interface, shown in green. The outside interface is g0/0 and don't worry, I've ensured EIGRP is not running there.The problem I'm having is that I need to monitor the "Internal" link so that if it goes down, the ASA triggers the failover to the secondary firewall connected to the other switch. I was told that the "secondary" keyword was what enabled this:
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
nameif Inside
security-level 100
ip address 10.10.2.2 255.255.255.0 standby 10.10.2.3
This is fine since I am able to compare this config to the firewalls that are currently in production elsewhere in the environment and this is what's in use there. However, in order to run EIGRP all the way to the firewall and not rely on something else like HSRP for the inbound traffic, I'd like to run the corresponding links (Gi1/0/22) on the inside switches as routed ports (no switchport) so that I don't have to establish neighborships with SVIs or something like that. I want the routing to be done directly to the port, leaving the interfaces for failover and our DMZ set up as switchports, since those can be layer 2.It's saying the Internal interface has failed now, probably because it cannot send hellos through this, since it's a routed port on the switch side. I'm wondering if this simply is an impossible design, unless there's a way to track this interface and trigger a failover if it goes down using another method.a method that allows me to track that internal interface (Gi0/1) and trigger a failover if it goes down.
I want to measure the the ospf convergence time on the given network topology (assume 5 nodes - partial mesh topology).I am using quagga software as routing software on linux box. Quagga is runnign fine and network is converged, able to see all the routes.. Quagga software is logging all the osfp information includign packets,state machines,etc.I am going to disconnect a link between node a to node b. and i want to measure the convergence time of the network.What is the network convergence time?My answer is, The time taken to reflect the topology change (link down/up, network condition change) to all the routers on the topology.Some routers(close by routers to the topology change) will get converged fast, and some routers(far away from the topology change) will have the higher convergence time. we have to take the highest convergence time of the router on the topology and we can says thats the ospf network convergence time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are setting up a test lab in our DMZ. The path to the internet is basically like this. Anything past the firewall is irrelevant. For this lab lets assume it is vlan 300.
LAB SW ---> DMZ-SW ---> ASA FW ---> INTERNET
LAB IP Range = 172.16.300.0 /24
GW = 172.16.300.1 (On FW int)
Trunked all the way through.
I have an int vlan set up on the LAB SW. It is being trunked to DMZ SW. DMZ trunks it to ASA FW where there is a failover with a redundant switch.On the ASA the interface 0/2 is a subinterface 0/2.300 being used as the default gateway.
I have DHCP running in a specific range on the LAB SW and do get an ip address when plugged in. I cannot ping the default gateway on the ASA FW.The GW is defined using default-router command for 172.16.300.1 i.e. default-router 172.16.300.1?
We are running ospf on the firewall. There appears to be a pattern with ospf and a similar subnet setup elsewhere. I was wondering based off of this info would configuring ospf for 172.16.300.0/24 allow me to ping the GW from a client on the LAB SW.Secondly. I trunked 300 on the DMZ SW but I didnt add the vlan to the configuration. i.e. conf t <enter> vlan 300 <enter> Does this really matter? Or is having the vlan in the configuration only pertain to access mode on interfaces?
We have 2 sites, each with 2 x 4506 switches which will be connected togther using an etherchannel. The switches will provide access ports for client devices and will be configured with HSRP to provide gateway redundancy. SW1 will be HSRP active.2 metro ethernet links will be installed in each site which will connect back to our HQ sites. OSPF will be used over the backbone to provide resiliency and to allow shortest path routing to each HQ and to prevent traffic over the HQ to HQ link.
The 4506 will be trunked togther with an SVI for providing OSFP adjacency.For the traffic flow from SW2 to HQ2, traffic will hit SW1 and then route back to SW2 and then to HQ2. Is this the best way to do this? Should a second link be connected between switches just for routing or should something like GLBP be used?
